Luin

...means "blue" in Quenya.


Once long ago I was young and naive,
I dared to hope and I dared to dream.
Once long ago lights were brighter for me,
this world was mine to keep.

I traveled so far defying the dawn
just to see where this road leads.
My foolish heart, unbroken, unscarred, was whole
...and then there was you.

Once long a go I felt lost without you
and life had lift me high and dry.
Once long ago didn't know what to do
alone inside my mind.

So far away, from where I'm today,
no one can reach my heart,
until the day my darkness fade away
and into the blue...


Out of the darkness and into the blue
still broken and scarred but I'm over you;
for every scar and every tear that falls
means I'm healing.


Where are you now, are you thinking of me?
When you look in the mirror, what do you see -
the burden you bear and the secret you keep
reminding you endlessly?

I've been broken for a while
but I'm not missing you.


Out of the darkness; into the blue,
where you don't want me and I don't need you.
Though I'm down and though I'm torn apart
I'm still breathing.


Out of the darkness and into the blue
still broken and scarred, but I'm over you;
for every scar and every tear that falls
means I'm healing.


Out of the darkness; into the blue,
where you don't want me and I don't need you.
Though I'm down and though I'm torn apart
I'm still breathing.

Out of the darkness and into the blue,
where you don't want me and I don't need you.
Though I'm down and though I'm torn apart
my heart's beating.


"Into the blue" by Cain's Offering


Recently, I had the first experience of feeling that I was not only unhappy that it is over with fox. It was incredibly relieving. It takes time, but at least I can think about it and not choke up anymore.
Around that time, I believe, I found this song. And it really is one of the best songs on that theme I have heard. Not soppy one-man high-pitched pop lamentation, but... powerful. Also, the fact that it's powermetal and who that band is made up of might help. I did correct the lyrics I found elsewhere, though. Really, now, confusing "heart" with "hunt", and in that context? One might almost think you'd never heard another dialect of English than your own.
Out of the darkness and into the blue, indeed. Nicely put, Cain's Offering.
